It's finally starting to look like it could really happen.
And another empty-netter by Buote, this time shorthanded as well, wraps things up. [Crop/Zoom: 3029x749]
But the scoring isn't over. Senior captain Matt Cook got one last power play goal to give Union the final 7-2 edge. [Larger: 1744x1308]
